Girlfriend of teen killed in East Lothian triple death car smash says her 'heart is broken into a thousand pieces'

HEARTBROKEN Kim Mclaughlin paid an emotional tribute to her boyfriend, 16-year-old Josh Stewart, who was one of three youngsters who died when their vehicle ploughed into a wall near the village of Tyninghame on Monday night.

THE girlfriend of one of the teen victims of a triple death car crash has said her “heart is broken into a thousand pieces.”

Devastated Kim Mclaughlin made the moving tribute to Josh Stewart, 16, one of the three youngsters killed when their car smashed into a wall on Monday night.

The accident, on an unclassified road near the village of Tyninghame, East Lothian, also claimed the lives of Jenna Barbour, 18, and David Armstrong, 15.

The only survivor, Robbie Gemmell, 16, is making progress in hospital after initially being admitted to the intensive care ward.

Kim, 20, a nursing assistant from Dunbar, where all the victims lived, posted moving tributes to Josh on Twitter.

She wrote: “My heart is broken into a thousand pieces. I will always love you forever. Maybe if I fall asleep I’ll wake up and this will all have been a nightmare. Goodnight, Josh, I love you. Being awake hurts too much.”

David’s sister Gemma Armstrong posted a picture of them together when they were children.

Gemma wrote on her Facebook page: “I miss you so much big bro and hope you are happy and I will always love you and you will always be in my mind xxx”

It has emerged the crash could have claimed a fourth victim.

Nathan McMaster, 19, said he was invited for a drive by the group on Monday. Nathan added: “That’s the last time I heard from them. The next morning I found out they were dead.”

All four victims were pupils at Dunbar Grammar School or had studied there.
